Geocache Description:

Easy parking for this aluminum bison tube micro. Should be a fairly easy grab. Stealth is required. BYOP.


Growing up in this area, particularly in a household without a car, its hard to forget the importance the of the old PCC type street cars in taking us just about everywhere. I particularly remember the Keating Car Barn as what, when I was a kid, seemed like Grand Central Station. The web of overhead wires, with occasional sparks, and the maze of tracks below was a world of wonder. At that time there was a housing plan and many commercial establishments on the same side of Perry Highway that the cache is hidden on, including Jim McKain's West View Garage, which was established in 1910 and was the 14th Ford Dealership in the country! Thanks to Shawn at www.pittsburghtransit.info for use of the pictures!
